Rucksack/Backpack - where to buy in UK?

This should be a simple one - I'm after some advice about shops in the UK
that have a good selection of rucksacks that we can take a look at for a
round-the-world trip. We've got a branch of Millets, and they have a
reasonable selection, but we'd like to look at a few more options (for info,
we're in Swindon and so places like Oxford, Bristol, Reading and Southampton
are within easy distance)

Try the YHA Adventure shop in Southampton, they have aslae at the moment.

Isn't there a Black's in Oxford? I have a 30L daypack/light pack
(Black's own brand) that I bought on sale for something like £10 that
I've been really happy with. I find Black's can be quite expensive
usually, but you can find some fantastic sale deals there
occasionally.
